You can engage with shitty media (to a point) and acknowledge that media without giving the shitty people a platform, and it isn't the end of the world. It's effort and other people ARE WORTH THE Effort. I don't know how to tell you to care about other people, something something /rant

Amanda Palmer, especially Grand Theft Orchestra, has some songs that just help my brain process grief and anger better than anything else. But I won't stream them any longer - I ripped my cds and if I need to listen I will use my actual files.

Good Omens is one of the most important books I own, I have it memorized, I own multiple copies. If I ever need to give a copy to someone now I will buy it secondhand. I actually missed getting Gaiman to sign it moons ago and now I am glad it hasn't been ruined for me in that way.

One of my friends is hyperfixated on Harry Potter. She is also terminally offline. She is aware that JKR is a horrific human being but the potter books mean the world to her, so we buy her fan merch for Christmas as a compromise.

people as things, that’s where it starts

if you really internalize this one it will keep you on the right track

Migraine view is so awful. I get fuzzy halos of light and one eye stops focusing and it's like, body could we not? /sends hugs

Omg yes! Feel free to flail at me if you have any feelings! It's so good!

If they end up allowed to use Ai Gen of actors in time that will be all we see I'm sure. ><

I've found ads for medicine to always be the most unsettling because of the way they must be structured, but the constant celebrity endorsements has increased as of late and that's a different sort of surreal.

Every time I travel to the US I'm excited for access to the food network (as we don't bother with cable). The downside is the commercials which have always been this bad but seem.... More aggressive about it in the last few years? They're also getting louder.

Have fun and beware the opening is heavy on eye trauma!
